Camp Ramah in California, Jewish summer camp in Ojai, California, United States

Camp Ramah in California is a Jewish summer camp on 385 Fairview Road in Ojai, California, affiliated with the Conservative Movement and observing Shabbat and kashrut. Its campus includes residential buildings, recreation areas and a synagogue in the round, where prayers are held. The summer season is split into two four-week sessions.

Camp Ramah in California was founded in 1956 by Rabbi Jacob Pressman. Rabbi Zvi Dershowitz served as administrative director from 1963 to 1973, helped start the winter weekends, and helped create the current campus on 385 Fairview Road. Chaim Potok, author of The Chosen, was director from 1957 to 1959 before becoming a writer.

Campers are grouped into age divisions called Edot, each with a Hebrew name such as Nitzanim ("sprouts") or Sollelim ("trail blazers"), led by a Rosh Edah. Prayers take place in a synagogue built in the round. The camp observes Shabbat and kashrut, and the summer closes with former campers eligible for the six-week Ramah Seminar tour of Israel.

The summer season is split into two four-week sessions attended by over 1,350 campers. The camp also runs a winter camp and winter weekends, one of the few Ramah camps able to do so because of the favorable winter climate. The site is at 385 Fairview Road in Ojai.

Chaim Potok, author of The Chosen, directed the camp from 1957 to 1959 before turning to writing full time. Rabbi Zvi Dershowitz, administrative director from 1963 to 1973, helped start the winter weekends and shape the campus on Fairview Road.
